The Panthers have come to know Pittsburgh well in the preseason in recent years. They have met in the preseason every year since 2005.

Pittsburgh is coming off a 19-15 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. They will likely be relying heavily on rookie running back James Conner. As for Carolina, they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-23 last week to push their preseason record to 2-1.

The last preseason game of the year is all about deciding position battles and which players belong on the final 53-man roster for the regular season. Expect to see a heavy dose of rookies and players who are on the bubble getting a lot of playing time.

In the regular season the Steelers have dominated the all-time series, winning five of six meetings.
